There are currently 32 head coaches in the National Football League (NFL). There were 11 head coaching changes during or immediately following the 2008 season, setting an NFL record.[1]
Andy Reid of the Philadelphia Eagles has been with his team since the 1999 NFL season, longer than any other current head coach. Bill Belichick has won the Super Bowl three times with his current team, the New England Patriots, making him the leader among all current head coaches.[2] The other four current coaches that have led their team to a Super Bowl victory are Tom Coughlin of the New York Giants, Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Sean Payton of the New Orleans Saints, and Mike McCarthy of the Green Bay Packers.[3] Five head coaches (Bill Belichick, Sean Payton, Andy Reid, Lovie Smith, and Mike Smith) have won the AP Coach of the Year Award for coaching their current team.[4]
